Hello,

I want to convert my stock Xootr Swift into a fixed bike. I am currently looking to purchase a Surly New fixed hub. My bike has 135mm dropouts and I am about to replace the crankset with a Shimano Ultegra 6500 and bottom bracket with a 109mm BB-5500. From what I read, the Surly 135 has a chainline of 52mm and the Ultegra's 6500 outer ring will give me a chainline of ~46mm. Will the Surly 130 give me a better chainline by adding washers or will the Surly 135 be a better option? Thanks in advance.
